99, really awkward spot against a shortstack donk.
Button is a shortstack donk with about 30BB.
I'm in the SB with 99. 3 folds. Button raises to 4 BB. I make it 15 BB, planning to insta-call a push from him obviously. Big blind folds. Button flat-calls instead of pushing. Flop K-Q-3. Hero curses. He's never folding a better hand if I push. He'll fold if he has absolutely nothing. If I check he might bluff with any two, but I'm not sure. What to do? Put him in? Check-call? Check-fold?

Re: 99, really awkward spot against a shortstack donk.
So, you put half your stack in preflop, and now what?!?!?
Push pre, call pre, fold pre. Don't do what you did.

I'm re-raising for value against him. Pushing pre-flop is obviously stupid because the big blind has yet to act, if he 4-bets I fold and save myself money.

[ QUOTE ] Are you sure you're reading the hand right? [/ QUOTE ] positive. [/ QUOTE ] He asks that because he put in half of the button's stack, not his. However, I don't like this play either. I would not fold it for sure, especially if Donk read is correct. However, listen to AJ, if you are not going to get this guy all-in preflop just call and see if you flop set or overpair. How big was your stack? How big was the BB stack? I think you are in good shape against a random hand in the big blind. However, I hate the 15bb raise, I raise it to 30 bb's. BB won't re-raise without a big hand and you get button all in while you have the best of it (presumably). Don't worry about the extra bets if it's re-raised. Also, you are more likely to get pushed at 15 then 30 by bb. This is not a time to be timid.

BB and I were both full-stacked. [/ QUOTE ] I suppose your concern here is 'if i raise to 30 (or push), what if BB wakes up with a hand?' Well, that happens sooo rarely that it shouldn't be a concern.
